Error message when you export an Exchange 2007 mailbox to .pst file and a filter is defined: "Export-Mailbox : Error was found for <username> (<SMTP address>)"

When you use the Export-Mailbox to export items from a Microsoft Exchange 2007 mailbox to a .pst file by using a filter, the export fails for some mailboxes. The following error message appears in the Exchange Management Shell:

This problem occurs when any items in the .pst file fall outside the filter restriction. For example, if you set the restriction that the subject of a message is "test," some messages that have other subjects exist in the .pst file.

Note The .pst file is also known as a dumpster folder. A dumpster folder holds permanently deleted messages until a store cleanup occurs.

To resolve this problem, install Update Rollup 8 for Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1.
